Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1187 - 626: Because I’m Not Your Sister_2

"I don’t have such intentions for now, but..."

Xu Xin glanced at Li Wenxi’s villa, then looked at the group of people laughing not far away: "It seems they more or less have this intention."

Li Wenxi, being one of the explorers, developed such thoughts after living in this World Tree for a month. Let alone the others.

If Xu Xin also lived so comfortably in the World Tree for a month, he might have such thoughts too.

The joyful scene before him, seemingly absent for a long time, really touched him.

"... You didn’t experience the disaster a thousand years ago or being enslaved under those monsters, so having this thought is normal."

Xu Ying and Xu Xin walked side by side along the stream.

"As long as they are still on this planet, we absolutely cannot relax. As long as they are on this planet, there’s no such thing as safety for us."

Xu Xin slightly tilted his head toward Xu Ying, noticing her expression was somewhat bewildered and dazed, but more than anything, worried.

"Did you drink too?"

"I didn’t join your revelry." Xu Ying lightly rolled her eyes and sighed, "I’m afraid I’ll... get addicted to this feeling."

"What’s wrong with getting addicted?" Xu Xin smiled, "At least for now, we have plenty of time."

"Hmm..." Xu Ying’s eyes struggled for a moment, then she glared at Xu Xin, "Don’t tempt me! Though your suggestion is tempting, but..."

She sighed, looking at the fish in the stream: "I’m afraid my time is already limited."

Xu Xin’s gaze slightly concentrated, he was silent for a while before speaking: "As long as you don’t do anything extreme, it won’t worsen the situation. Didn’t you say so?"

"I... I don’t know either." Xu Ying squatted down, lightly sliding her hand across the surface of the stream, "Actually... I only have my brother’s case as a reference. He truly was like that, but whether I’ll be like him, I’m not sure."

Xu Xin knew that when she mentioned "my brother," she referred to Xu Xin who disappeared in front of Xu Ying in an image.

However...

"What about the others? Doesn’t your team have over thirty thousand people? Aren’t they all..."

"... They all participated in major research and technology transfers with significant impact on the world’s direction. So when they disappeared, there was no warning at all, suddenly gone, unable to serve as reference. No..."

Xu Ying sat by the stream, hugging her legs: "Maybe, I’ll be like them too, not knowing when I’ll completely vanish from this world."

Xu Xin wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say.

He genuinely had no understanding of this matter.

Ultimately, he could only sit beside Xu Ying: "These people disappeared because they greatly impacted the world. You haven’t done anything severe, so how could it happen to you."

"Brother..."

Xu Ying leaned her head on Xu Xin’s chest for half a minute, then stood up.

"Ah, how embarrassing!" Xu Ying rubbed her eyes, "Seeing those people hosting such a joyful welcome party, exchanging drinks, I’m starting to feel anxious!"

Xu Xin also stood up: "No matter what happens afterward, at least in the next month or two, we can relax a bit."

The month or two Xu Xin mentioned, naturally referred to the time inside the World Tree.

According to Ji Chaoyang’s prophecy, at least tonight, nothing significant would happen.

Calculated by the time inside the World Tree, that’s roughly forty days.

Furthermore, during this period, Xu Xin and Xu Ying didn’t plan to go to the underground world.

Before leaving, they discussed the situation in the underground world with Wei Shishi.

They asked Wei Shishi to ideally gather some key individuals first, and when they go next time, they will bring that group to the surface.

After all, inside the World Tree is undoubtedly safer than the underground world.

But for Wei Shishi to accomplish this, it also takes time; how fast could it possibly be?

So the plan for the two was to just check daily.

And with a day passing outside, over three months would pass within the World Tree.

Their time was excessively abundant.

"Ah, you mean during this period until the dawn of the next day outside?"

Xu Ying looked at the sky within the World Tree.

"Mm, indeed!" She clenched her fist, "During this time apart from mass-producing weapons, there truly isn’t much else to do. Maybe, I really can relax for a while in the end!"

Xu Xin shook his head: "Don’t say ’in the end,’ as long as you don’t do anything extreme, there shouldn’t be major issues."

"Who knows, the world’s laws are merciless." Xu Ying said, taking off the bracelet she had always worn on her left hand, stared blankly at it for a few seconds, then reached out to hand it to Xu Xin.

"This is...?" Xu Xin received it, and was then surprised.

A space bracelet?

"It’s the weapon from that space-time." Xu Ying handed the bracelet to Xu Xin, feeling relieved, she smiled, "It’s a very powerful weapon, the only one I know that can... destroy crystals."

A weapon that can easily destroy crystals?!

"You mean the crystals in Crystal City?" Xu Xin swallowed and asked a somewhat foolish question.
